Event description

Description

Friends of Skagit Beaches (FOSB) brings another quality public education event to our community this fall. If you have enjoyed the Winter Lecture Series over the past 12 years, interpretative walks or other FOSB events, you won’t want to miss the 6th Annual Fidalgo Shoreline Academy to be held on Saturday, October 21, 2017, 9 AM–3:30 PM, at the Northwest Educational Services District 189 Building in Anacortes.

The cost of the Shoreline Academy is $30.00 if you wish to attend the Academy and bring your own lunch. The cost of the Shoreline Academy including a box lunch from "The Store" is $40.00. This lunch includes your choice of sandwich, a bag of chips, and two cookies.

Teachers: five (5) free clock hours for teachers are avaiable through Padilla Bay. When registering, check “yes” if you are interested in receiving Clock Hours.

Our keynote address will be "WHEN ROME IS BURNING: The Effects of a Global Decline in Biodiversity" presented by Dr. Phoebe Barnard, Executive Director of the Pacific Biodiversity Institute and internationally recognized scientist. The Cascadia region is an empowering place to live with wonderful opportunities to build stronger and more focused bridges between government agencies, academic institutions, nonprofits, civil society organizations, and the public policy and communications communities. How can we respond proactively in a way that gives as many species as possible a chance to survive the gauntlet of the next 300 years of dizzying environmental change?
